Is the demand for physical books on decline in your area ? Do you personally read less paper books ? What has replaced that habit now ?

Only the educational books in classes and college is unaffected by this decline. Or there also we have decline ?

The demand has definitely decreased over the last 15 years for physical copies of books, but there are still many people that prefer to have a physical representation of material they've consumed or plan to consume.
Case in point.

Digital textbooks are becoming more common, since they are usually cheaper to buy or rent than a physical copy.

It's true that there's been a decline, but there's never a substitute for the feeling that a physical book brings to the table

I use to like going to Waterstones in Piccadilly London. It’s Europe's biggest bookshop. Spend time looking for the book I wanted.
Never read an ebook. Physical all the way for me.
I use to read a book a week but that was a long time ago. I don’t really read anymore.

Yes, the question was about eating snails, and you talking about your favorite book shop!
(you read bhw everyday bro! )I recently ordered some historical books, one in hardback, and I much prefer working with them physically, even though they are for blog research. I want to scrape them for information and update my mind map with the contents.

I love physical books.
I'd rather pay for a hardcover or paperback than read an ebook version even if said ebook could be found for free.
Sunk cost fallacy also kicks in so I'm like I gotta finish reading since I spent money on it

Is being a long time since I read a book, but physical books are in decline because of the space and is saved in the cloud, I mean pros and cons that without internet you don't have access, don't get damaged everything depends in your necessities, there are books that I prefer in physical the ones I love and in the cloud the ones that maybe need or use once in a time.
